Processes culminating in the 2015 phreatic explosion at Lascar volcano, Chile, evidenced by multiparametric data [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Small steam-driven volcanic explosions are common at volcanoes worldwide but are rarely documented or monitored; therefore, these events still put residents and tourists at risk every year.

On the importance of self-secondaries
Geoscience Letters, 2018 Self-secondaries are secondary craters that are formed on both the continuous ejecta deposits and interior of the parent crater. The possible existence of self-secondaries was proposed in the late 1960s, but their identity, formation mechanism, and ...

Modeling the Chronologies and Size Distributions of Ceres and Vesta Craters [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2020 Abstract We infer the crater chronologies of Ceres and Vesta from a self-consistent dynamical model of asteroid impactors. The model accounts for planetary migration/instability early in the history of our solar system and tracks asteroid orbits over 4.56 Gyr. It is calibrated on the current population of the asteroid belt.

NanoSIMS and EPMA dating of lunar zirconolite
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2021 Zirconolite is a common Zr-rich accessary mineral in mafic rocks. It is also an ideal U–Pb/Pb–Pb chronometer because it commonly contains high U content (mostly 0.1–10 wt%) and negligible initial Pb.
